Aria Spinta : the Italian title actually means ‘the air that one blew’, but has come to signify ‘condensed storm’ and ‘exaggerated singing’ in literature. The show comprises a knot of pressurised relationships in a comedy that goes beyond the limits. The story includes mini-narratives, incidents and relations expressed as feelings and moods. The subtle fluctuation of feelings is related through dance. The five characters enact the bonds and rifts of relationships: fleeting desires, hoping and waiting , happy and sad turns of fate… A chain of circumstances links agreements and disagreements in this microcosm of humanity.
The choreography of Lenka Flory and Simone Sandroni is theatrical in scale, as the audience is engaged in a very personal dialogue that combines gravity with lightness.
